Um, and it’s good to see you guys and uh we’re excited to get this thing rolling for season five, six. How many years have we been doing this?

 Jason, tell the people who we got coming up. 90 PERCENTERS. WE ARE  BACK IN SEASON FIVE. WE’RE GOING TO RECAP ALL WE’VE BEEN IN this off season. We’re going to get into everything from training camps. WE’VE ALSO GOT AARON DONALD. HE’S  BACK.  AND TRAVIS. ALSO, uh I don’t know if you got into anything this off this offseason you want to mention, but if you do, we’re now would be the time.

WE’LL GET INTO A LITTLE BIT OF THAT new news.  New news coming in hot. Our first bit of new news though, arguably the most important bit of new news that we have. Jason has been selected for the Cincinnati Athletics 50th anniversary Hall of Fame class. That’s right. Jason’s a HALL OF FAMER.  LET’S GO CATS.

 How does it feel to be in the Hall of Fame, Jason? This is your second Hall of Fame that you’ve been inducted in. Correct.  Well, Cleveland Heights. I’m trying to think. Have I been in another one?  Are you in another one? Ohio Music Hall of Fame. Are you in that one?  No, not in that one. Are you in the uh Ohio swim cadetses?  No.

 No, not in that one.  I don’t think that will exist yet. Well, uh either way, it How does it feel? It feels like Cincinnati wants some money and   time out. Time out.  Let’s take that. Let’s rewind that back. Let’s keep it PG for our listeners.  I mean, listen, I was I was a twotime all big East.

 Come on now, baby. Big East. Back back when the Big East popping. No, you were first team.  No, I was not, James. I was in second team all conference twice and I’m in the Hall of Fame. So, I does feel like a bit of this has been from my postc career uh at  100% 100%.  Um, it’s an incredible honor.

 I’m going in with my our former college teammate, my former pro teammate, Connor Bowwin, is also going to the Hall of Fame.  CB, congrats. Congrat member going in this year.  Oh, I do know I do know who it is. The old ball coach.  That’s right. Bob Huggin, man. Coach Hugs, congrats, man. That’s awesome.  Yeah. So, part of an awesome class.

Obviously incredibly honored that Cincinnati would uh adorn me uh with this honor into the Hall of Fame class. Uh, but you know, I again I it feels a little odd knowing that uh I was a walk-on like two-time conference second team uh selection, but we did have a lot of success. It was a fun time. I love Cincinnati.

 I still love going back. We’re going back to a game this week actually. Uh Connor, me and Brent Celich, we’re going to roll down. Uh so looking forward to that.  Yeah, they got Boston College, baby. Let’s go, man. Let’s go, Cats. Start off the year on the right foot, baby. Let’s go.  Yeah.

 So, uh, back to you, uh, getting into the Hall of Fame though, man. I hear what you’re saying. Um, but at the same time, man, your your football career, um,  I’m a representative of the university and  Exactly. Exactly. It’s  it doesn’t just it’s not one little  and it was and as much as you loved being there and you love talking about being there and you are you are in a big way an advocate for the university I think a lot of that is by all means a part of this and I think uh I think you you know you saying that you know you went there you loved it there you grew

there you became a even better football player there and then you went on to do unbelievable things um that a lot of centers in the entire world that have ever played this game have never done. I think that has a lot to do with you getting this uh this acknowledgement. So,  I I appreciate it, Travis. Thank you.

 Um very honored to be there. Can’t wait to go back to Cincinnati. I love being there. Can’t wait to watch the Bearcats.  Come on, baby. Get up old Nippert Stadium, man. Sit in one of those nice high-rise suites they got there, man. Oh, there are some there’s some sweet seats right above the uh the tunnel that the Cats walk out on.

 Now, I saw him uh selling those tickets. Those things look sweet, man.  The best seat I ever had was in the student section at the basketball game. That was  Dude, you got that sounds like you got to find your way over to the student section, baby.  I mean, listen,  see the band come flying down those steps in the beginning.

 I got a pretty I got a pretty iconic photo from like one of my first couple years out in the student section cheering on the  UC basketball team.  Sean Kilpatrick and  Yeah.  Yeah. Y Gay and the boys.  Let’s go. Do we want to look at these college photos? Yeah, let’s go. Let’s go ahead and throw throw out those college photos.

 I think that’s Cincinnati posted, right? Gosh, looking at old photos, especially the college years, man. I got some  gnarly photos. Holy  Jason, you won the Heisman.  I did.   What a ball player, man.  Man,  dude, you got to bring back the stash, man.  I am so I just hate the way my face looks without a beard. Just kidding.

 No way.  Yeah. No chance. You’re a handsome young man, Jason.  Look at that dude right there. I tell you what, freshman year.  That’s a Mike linebacker right there.  That was when I was still linebacker for sure.  That’s a man filling the A gap, baby. Let’s go.  Oh, look at John Goble.  Johnny G, baby.

 Pit sweat is  Look at him. This guy’s had a mic in his hand his entire life. He was made for this. Who the  is that guy?  Oh, Treny. Oh, what is this? Oh, man. New Heights in the beginning. Is this the beginning of New Heights? Oh, Camp Higher Ground.  That’s right. Camp Higher Ground. You probably were a freshman that year.

 M winning the keg of nails against Louisville.  Louisville. Yeah.  Yeah, baby.  Look at that, man. The one at the bottom is hilarious, man.  That is Travis’s senior night. So, I would have been my second year. I got a torn ACL. Well, a freshly prepared ACL at that point.  Oh, boy.  Little Derek Wolf action.

 Wolfie in the picture. Little shot of goes.  How about it, man?  This is a very random photo to include.  Yep. Yep. That’s a  not my finest. Not my finest.  Interesting. Interesting. Interesting shot. Oh, yeah. This is This is what This is what Jason’s teammates remember. Being at the  front of the fight.   The commander-in-chief always leading everybody into battle, baby.

 Is that what I look like when I’m yelling? Is that how it always looks?  You don’t really see it as that because it happens so fast. But I I think when I think that is you in the flesh, that’s not AI. Yeah.  Okay, perfect. That was back when I used to just take a a ra like I would just take my razor and that’s how I trim my eyebrows.

 I would just go straight across my eyebrows so they end up being super thin  and not having any shape.  I would go right here. I would go right here.  Oh god, dude.  I would go right here and then I would and then I would razor across. I’m not going to lie, that’s a pretty good line. I If you didn’t say that, I would have never guessed.

 But they are definitely way thinner than what they  are now.  Oh [clears throat] yeah,  that’s funny as hell, man. College is so funny, man. I remember one year I actually tried to shave my chest in college.  And then it grew back so fast that I tried to  Yeah. I tried to wax it after that and I showed up like 50-year-old Virgin where it’s like bloody and patchy and I have scabs on my chest.

 Yeah. Right.  So I just gave up on that whole idea real quick in about two weeks. So, I was like, “Yeah, I’ll probably never do that again.”  Gosh, college. Just trying to figure things out, man.  Well, um, now that we’ve been able to embarrass me through a bunch of photos, let’s embarrass Travis.

 Travis made his debut as a global ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger.  Can’t embarrass me.  I mean,  you look a lot better than I do. I love what you’re doing with your el. Do when you take a photo, are they telling you to put your elbow like that? Um, sometimes you’ll get some you listen, photographers, they they they have some good direction, you know? I always think of the scene in Austin Powers.

 He’s like, I need a tiger. I need a You  know what I mean? He’s like,  yes, yes, no, no, no, yes.  Um, but yeah, I don’t remember whether I did this or not, but it is a bit it is a bit chip and daily for sure.  It looks good. I mean, you’re definitely like suggestive a little bit with that right hand,  BUT  IT’S a good photo. It’s a good photo.

 Oh, there’s more. Okay, there we go. There we go. Oh,  I didn’t know that Wendy was was out of the bag.  Yes, Wendy.  That’s been released. Wendy is officially  She is officially a picture dog. And uh  she That’s a great picture, Wendy.  We got to get her We got to get her the uh the line and her size.

 Uh unfortunately, it’s just she’s just got her fur on right now.  Um, so we’ve got to work with Tommy on getting her some uh some some good clothes. No, it’s uh it was fun. You know, we were going to use a dog in the shoot. Uh and uh the entire team was mentioning, you know, we were going to use a dog and am I okay with dogs? I’m like, I have a dog.

 Like, oh, you want to bring it bring your dog in? I’m just like, uh let me talk it over with my fiance at the time. Let me talk it over with Tay and uh figure out, you know, what’s the best way to go about this? And she was all for it. And it’s it’s kind of crazy how perfect she looks in a Tommy Hilfiger world.

 You know what I mean? Like she matches the brand and the shoot and it was pretty easy to get her to jump on the couch and have some fun with us. So um but yeah, Wendy’s uh Wendy’s now a um model. Yep. She’s a model dog.  She looks great. She’s killing it.  Little old Wendy’s a little over a year old now. Yep.

 We’ve had her for quite a while. Try to keep it under wraps. Got sniped. He got sniped at the airport. Well, it doesn’t it also doesn’t work when you put do a Tommy Hilfiger shoot with her. But yeah.  Yeah. Good call. Good call.  Speaking of other things out of the bag, we do have probably the most interesting bit of the off season that happened to both of us, but certainly to you, is that you’re finally married.

 We have not done a podcast  since you are husband and wife. Has not happened.  Married man.  What do we want to talk about? I We’ve already talked about this on other podcasts and so forth. Guests have shared things. What do we what what do we feel like sharing and discussing? Travis, I’ll leave the floor to you because I don’t I don’t know.

 At this point, we’re what over a month out. It’s uh it’s been so much fun. First of all, the night was a night out. It was insane. It’s a night I’ll will never forget. Um me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up, you know, from from the vows to, you know, just seeing everyone to how much fun we had.

 uh throughout the entire evening and hearing that uh kind of be relayed through everybody’s stories of the night and it was just so magical, man. And I wish it could have lasted even longer than it did. It felt like it just happened in a blink of an eye.  They kicked us out.   Well, they stopped they once the drinks stop being served, uh everyone kind of just starts to, you know, mossy out.

But, um, you know, thank you to everyone at MSG that allowed us to do this. We we wanted to do it somewhere where we could have a very uh intimate and genuine setting without uh without a lot of distractions and we we needed it to be a private feel. So, and that and MSG went above and beyond to give us that and uh I can’t thank everybody enough about that that showed up but also uh that helped uh put the show on.

 Uh, and it was uh it was a very magical magical night. And uh I can’t I can’t say thank you to everyone without give a special thank you to the Adam Sandler.  Oh my gosh.  Um he [clears throat] has been just the  best person  on this planet and I for him to be up for uh getting ordained in the state of New York and marrying me and Taylor.

Yeah. uh in the way he did it in the very, you know, Sandman style and giving us more than we could have ever imagined in that moment, knowing that uh it was the biggest night of both of our lives, it was uh it was absolutely insane, man.  Yeah. I I I when you said Adam was going to be officiating the wedding, I initially I was like, man, that’s he’s going to be hilarious.

 But it wasn’t until like right before the wedding that I realized, oh my god, he’s going to like crush this because there’s  a No. Well, I mean, obviously he’s an entertainer and he’s very he’s hilarious, but there’s a sweetness in everything Adam does, like all of his movies and like like there’s a degree of it that I think really resonates with officiating a wedding.

 I mean, obviously be a wedding singer, too. I guess he is officially a wedding singer now, but um I mean, it was he he was absolutely fantastic. And the other thing was the ceremony was beautiful. Adam killed it. Both you and Taye were incredible in your vows. The thing I really liked about this wedding in particular and the way you guys structured it was like after all that was done, like there wasn’t like the sit down formal stuff.

There wasn’t like a bunch of the speeches. It was just time to party and have fun. And that’s what made it so fun to for like for me to be there. You’re seeing all these A-list celebrities and then I said this on someplace else, but like you see Mrs. I haven’t seen Mrs. Clark in forever.

 See him THAT WAS LIKE THE HIGHLIGHT. I saw Brad Pitt hugging Conan O’Brien. I see Paul McCartney and then all of a sudden I see  Mrs. Clark and I’m like  what in the world and like it’s this  you know we yeah that was that was it was so cool to see how everybody interacted and you know with no phones comes you know not people not having to be on guard and like feel that you know something you know whatever whatever that feeling is for everyone it it makes it makes everyone be in the moment and be present and it was uh it was so cool

seeing everyone from my childhood not only mesh with Taylor and her childhood and her family and friends and uh and people that she works with to to who we’ve, you know, come encounter with over our career and who we just admire as people and um have become good friends with now. And it’s it’s just been so cool to see that world come together and hear through person by person uh you know after the wedding just how awesome of a time everyone had there.

 And um and that’s what we wanted it to be. We wanted it to be, you know, a beautiful ceremony and  it was so fun,  but we also wanted to make sure that everybody left there having some fun.  Yeah.  And uh and it was a it was a magical night, man.  Yeah. And I mean, that’s what I mean, like, you know, Paul McCartney, Brad Pitt, like there’s there’s And the But then also people that you guys grew up with and still have relationships with today.

 like seeing that ensemble and cast of people all sharing one room to to celebrate and like you know experience the day with you guys like as someone just associated with a piece of that. It was  it was just like it was so special and so awesome.  Forever grateful for everybody that showed up and supported it. Man,  also uh 92enters for those of you that are unaware our own Jet Jake is officially a father.

 That’s right. It’s Jake.  He has taken on  perhaps the most important role he will ever take on in his life.  And he is now hardwiring a bunch of information into a child’s brain that will either be a success or lead to the next Ted Bundy. We don’t know which one will happen.  Oh, no. No, you can’t do that.

  Time will tell [clears throat] what his job is.  And that’s that’s fatherhood. And for those of you wondering why he is not coming on today, he is on paternity leave. Um, which I have already started giving him  I mean, let’s be honest, you’re not doing much, Jake. Like, you can tweet with your hand and hold your baby.

 Like, we’re not you’re not going into the mill, right? You’re not forging iron and then having you can do both of these at the same time. I’m just saying.  I’m with Jake on this, man. You got to get when you need some time off, you got to get some time off, man.  HE’S GOT PLENTY OF TIME OFF. HE JUST HAD A MONTH  OFF.

 YEAH.  Answer some of the 92 percenters. There’s not that much time. That’s all I’m saying. The baby’s going to be asleep for half of it. All it’s doing is eat, sleep, and  And that’s pretty much what the infant does for these first three months. I get maternity.  She’s listening to everything Jake’s saying.

 Listen, I’m all about fatherhood. I’m all about being a great dad. But like, we all know like you’re only so much you can  do. Like, you know, they aren’t latching on to your tits. You can bottle feed. Listen, I my baby needs me, man.  Yeah, your baby needs you. You can be there. I’m just saying there’s not much.

  I think Kai just  Kylie just walked in. Kai, is three months too long for Jet Shake paternity leave?  I need a woman’s perspective cuz I feel like I’m going to be shunned if I don’t.  For paternity leave.  Yeah, paternity. Is he on that call?  No, that Jake is he’s on paternity leave.

 Yes, that is too long.  Too long.  What’s What’s  What’s an appropriate time of paternity leave?  You’re asking the wrong person. As someone who had a husband who went back,   well, yeah, we we were football players. We had to work. They They don’t give you a fraternity leave in [crying and screaming] the NFL.

 [gasps]  I’m getting crushed right now. You’re going to get  We don’t want any of this TO GET   THAT’S IT for News. We’re probably cutting that. Once again, congrats to our good friend Jake and his wife Emily. Very happy for both of you. I hope you guys do a good job. It sounds like you already are, Jake.

 You are taking your full paternity leave.  Well, and we’ll shoot to a quick ad read and then we’re going to talk some actual football. So, we’ll see you guys in a second.  Let’s see who’s sponsoring the show. New season football is almost here. It’s back, but it is almost here. We’re about two weeks out of the uh season kickoff.

Actually, probably about a week and a half since we’re playing on a Wednesday out in uh Australia. Um but the NFL season kicks off next Wednesday. So, let’s get into everything from training camp and the preeason.  That’s right. And let’s start with you, Trap. Obviously, you guys just finished up uh St.

 Joe’s training camp out there in the wonderful state of Missouri.  Yeah. officially on to the you we’re done with preseason games now. Now we’re focused on the regular season. You guys open it up with the Denver Broncos. Big opener, but let’s rewind a little bit. How was it your 14th season at St. Joe’s?  Man, it’s crazy.

 It’s gone 14 years since the first time I walked up there. They all are the same. You know, Coach Reed runs this camp uh very I mean, I’ve only been under one coach and uh so I know the schedule like the back of my hand now. Um, the biggest difference is I’m I’m I’m pretty prompt and on time uh nowadays uh my rookie year  I’ve seen you running down the hill a couple clips online though and so you’re still  that’s just my excitement to get things  going, you know.

 Um,  you know, excited for the day.  Yes.  I would say year 14. Uh, I’ve been in the same dorm 214 over at Scantland Hall for 14 years every year. Same room. Wow.  Same room. So if you’re if you’re in  suite 214  over there at Scantland Hall, just know we slept in the same bed,   on the same toilet.

  Oh my gosh.  It’s a time in the season that you have to have. And I love that coach Reed and and the Chiefs still get away from the city and we still take a trip away from the reality of things and get people away from you know the every day that is Kansas City that it mean you’re there for 6 months you know at the least if you’re not in even talking about the offseason and it’s almost like a sanctuary for me up there in St.

 Joe, and it’s where I know I can just focus on my craft, getting my body as healthy as possible, um, all while making sure I I come to work every single day. And I put all I I put the pads on when we’re putting pads on to be able to to to get to build up the callous and the and and the armor that you need to have to to get through a a 16, 17, 18 game season or 20 game season, whatever it is.

 And we’re fortunate enough to play this year. It’s that as well as the camaraderie and building that chemistry with the team and um and I don’t think you t you you get as much of that by doing it in the same place that you do the entire  I agree. I agree  and u or or if you don’t you have to go you have to go to other areas to be able to incorporate that.

 You know, I think as I get older in my career, I I really appreciate the fact that, you know, I did take those three weeks every single year to just focus on that and to be around the guys and to really just dive in and be all in on what we’re about to, you know, um endure together.  Yeah, I I 100% agree. I mean, we went away in college to uh higher ground.

went away when I first was with the Eagles with Andy to Lehi those first couple years and I I was one of the minority players that like really enjoyed going away for camp. I mean I I like there’s just something about like even I like going to St. Joe’s this year. There’s a different like feeling being at like a college like that.

 Like even just walking around seeing the buildings, the public is over there and it’s open to people to just come on in and watch. Uh, I remember hitting a sled for the first time in front of like a bunch of dudes just drinking beer and enjoying how cool it was to watch NFL players practice and like even growing up for us that was one of the only things we saw from the Browns.

 We went to like a training camp practice one year cuz it was so hard to get tickets. Um, so it’s like you’re forced to spend time around your teammates and like is it a little bit different now because there’s like phones and people bring laptops and computers where like you could still kind of like disassociate. Yes.

 But it definitely forces you to be together a little bit more. Um, and I don’t know, I always enjoyed that aspect of going to like one of these colleges. So the stuff that I’ve enjoyed is just watching the Big Yeti like making some awesome moves and catches. It’s like there’s been some  playing some good old ball, baby.  There’s some been some really good clips of you. Yeah.

 Going up and getting the ball, putting a little a little a little.  So, just so you know, this is one thing I liked watching this cuz you’re my brother and I thought it was great. I cannot stand when teams put these clips online because for every person, that’s what I’m saying. The Eagles do it, too. And like I love the Philadelphia Eagles.

And I love watching the clips, but like like they put out a clip of like Jaylen Carter beating the  out of like a guy who’s trying his hardest to make the team. It’s like dude, can we just like let practice be its own thing? We don’t need to show everything. Like  Yeah, but I mean that’s the the media is going to run with what they can get a hold of.

 Yeah,  you’re right. And it’s open practice, so there’s no point even holding it back. That’s just one thing. Like to me, if there’s one safe space that a guy should feel good about, like, hey, I’m going to try this new thing and like it might not work out, but I’m going to try it in practice because it’s not a game and then all of a sudden it it’s basically the old  but worse because now it lives forever on social media. Any whatever.

 Um, but it wasn’t all good. It did start off with a lot of I mean, the only way I could describe it is fat shaming, my brother  internet. And uh  listen, man, sometimes you just got to have, you know, some extra [laughter and gasps]  I was listening, baby. Yeah. You know what I’m saying? Like  those sourdough. Yeah, baby.

 Everyone’s We were in a world there for a little bit where they were saying fat is bad. Fat is bad. I’m just saying, man, sometimes, you know, fat could be good, too.  What’s crazy is it AI has gotten so good it was hard to tell cycling through those photos like what is the real photo?  How fat is Travis,  man? Is that fat? He I saw him last week.

 He looked way [snorts] better than that.   He really had a hell of a weekend.  He’s been wearing baggy shirts lately. So maybe that’s it. Even the route right there where I where I beat Gilman, who’s a great player and he got me a lot of the times in camp 2 and you don’t see everything uh that that’s out there. They just saw how slow that route was.

And what they don’t realize is that that route is based off of a hundred other routes that I’ve ran that that camp and I’m setting up that move or I’m trying to entice that move and I’m going so slow it’s like I’m feeding you what you what you want to try and jump the the route that you think I’m going to run with the pace. Exactly.

 Exactly. It and and it’s messing with the pace. Man, that  was so  funny reading some of these comments on on that clip going viral and then obviously the the fat shaming and saying that I got a dad body. It’s all social media just having fun and uh and I I even laugh at this   I mean, it’s  pure comedy.

 Well, Andy uh was quick to have your back. He’s like, “Everybody’s saying Travis Kelce has a dad bot, but he is in good shape.” And I noticed that coach. Yeah,  big hand. And listen, if there’s one person that wouldn’t say that, like if that wasn’t true, there’s no chance Andyy’s saying that, right? Which but I think um yeah, I know you  other years I’ve came in way fatter than I am this year for sure.

 Yes. Yeah. This is   we’re we’re we’re doing good so far.  I was actually What’s that’s so funny the difference of our positions. I was actually in encouraged to be fat going into training  camp. Like Kel, we know you’re going to lose like 10 pounds of training camp.

 Please come in a little fat, sir. Uh, we need you to be fat. Um,  Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift spent the last week doing what they’ve gotten especially good at since becoming one of pop cultures most watched pairs, sharing just enough to delight fans, while still keeping the most intimate pieces of their life, largely their own.

 In the span of 48 hours, the newlywed’s private fourth pet officially stepped into the spotlight and Kelsey returned to the mic with his brother Jason for the season 5 launch of their hit podcast where he offered one of his most direct post wedding reflections yet. The week’s first headline arrived Tuesday, September 1st, when Tommy Hilfiger, part of PVH Corporation, rolled out its fall 2026 campaign, only in New York, with Kelsey as the face of the story.

Checking into the Plaza Hotel, the iconic New York landmark Hilfiger once called home. The brand framed the campaign as a collision of sport, style, and entertainment, placing Kelsey at the center of a cast that also includes Gigi Hadid, Juu, Peggy Go, Francis Tafo, and Carmelo Anthony, plus Tommy and D. Hilfiger.

 Hilfiger’s own statement leaned hard into nostalgia and New York mythology, describing the plaza as a place where generations of cultural greats have crossed paths and positioning the campaign as a modern continuation of that energy. Kelsey, for his part, echoed the theme in PBH’s release, calling the plaza setting classic New York and praising the city’s magic and unpredictability exactly the vibe the campaign is selling.

 Fashion coverage quickly zeroed in on one very specific cameo, a fluffy white Sami Ed that appears alongside Kelsey in the campaign imagery and video. NBC New York via Today noted that the dog shared by Swift and Kelsey makes an on-screen debut in the Only in New York campaign while also quoting Kelsey describing how naturally she fit the concept.

 “We figured, why not her?” “She crushed it,” he said in remarks attributed to an interview with Vogue. At that point though, one detail remained conspicuously unconfirmed in much of the early coverage. The dog’s name. On September 1st, NBC New York explicitly reported that while the pup’s breed was clear, her name has not been made public.

 That not yet lasted roughly a day. On Wednesday, September 2nd, exactly as New Heights returned from its summer break, Kelsey and his brother Jason launched the season 5 premiere episode and the family’s newest star quickly became part of the conversation. In reporting republished by Yahoo from a People’s Style write up, Jason, 38, delivered the reveal first, joking.

 I didn’t know that Wendy was out of the bag. Travis, 36, didn’t just confirm the name. He leaned into Wendy’s sudden resume upgrade. “She is officially a picture dog,” he teased, adding that they now needed to get the line in her size, quipping that she was currently just got her fur on and they’d have to work with Tommy on some good clothes.

 He also described how the decision to involve Wendy wasn’t a solo call. He said he chose to talk it over with Tay and Swift, newly in her dog mom era, as the piece described it, was all for it. Kelsey also offered a surprisingly concrete timeline for a couple known for keeping certain domestic details under wraps.

 According to the same reporting, he said, “Little, oh well, Wendy’s a little over a year old now,” adding that they’d had her for quite a while and had been trying to keep it under wraps. In other words, Wendy hasn’t been a spontaneous post wedding impulse. She’s been part of the household for some time, just mostly off camera. And while Wendy may be new information to the public, she’s joining a famously established pet cast in Swift’s life.

Her three cats, Meredith Gray, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button. The September 2nd reporting described the couple as now having four pets total, with Wendy rounding out the group. For longtime Swift fans, the detail lands like a tiny but meaningful shift. cat mom iconography expanding into something more openly shared with her NFL star husband.

 If the dog news felt like a soft, charming domestic reveal, Kelsey’s wedding comments on the same season 5 premiere hit a more emotional note. US Weekly’s recap of the episode quoted Kelsey describing the wedding as a night we’ll never forget, adding that he and Swift were so thankful for everybody that showed up, from the vows to the stories guests have shared since.

 He also used the word magical and admitted one small regret, that it moved too fast, saying he wished it could have lasted even longer because it felt like it happened in the blink of an eye. Those sentiments land against the backdrop of what’s already been widely reported as an exceptionally private, tightly controlled event despite being staged in one of New York’s most famous public venues.

 The Associated Press reported that Swift and Kelsey were married at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, July 3rd, 2026 in a ceremony officiated by Adam Sandler with entertainment and sports celebrities filling the guest list and a just entire message appearing on the marquee outside after the ceremony. CBS News similarly reported that a representative for Swift confirmed the couple were married.

 Also naming Sandler as the officient and emphasizing just how intentionally the ceremony avoided traditional wedding party structure. No bridesmaids or groomsman with Swift’s brother Austin serving as her man of honor and Jason Kelsey serving as Travis’s best man. That blend of private and public is exactly what has made the couple’s post-wedding chapter so fascinating to track.

 The biggest moments can happen in the largest arenas, while the proof, photos, firsthand details, personal commentary arrives in carefully timed drips. Even in the dog rollout, the order of operations followed the same playbook. First, the cinematic campaign cameo, then the name and context delivered via Kelsey’s own platform on New Heights.

 The podcast’s return itself has been part of the week’s mini news cycle. Apple Podcast’s New Heights feed shows the show spent late August warming up for season 5 with special counting down the best 92 New Heights moments of all time episodes, including part one dated August 26th and part two dated 5 days before the September 2nd season premiere before transitioning back into new weekly episodes with the season 5 launch.

 For Kelsey, that return to routine energy is also tied to the calendar. The PVH release notes he’s entering another NFL season, and entertainment coverage of the September 2nd podcast episode similarly frames him as shifting from wedding summer back into football mode. In the couple’s world, the vibe change happens fast. One week you’re a guest in residence at the plaza in a high fashion narrative and the next you’re back behind the mic recapping offseason life while the season ramps up.

 Still, it’s the small details that carried the week. They’re the ones that stick. Wendy isn’t just seen. She’s named. She isn’t just a dog. She’s a picture dog, a model dog, and a surprisingly seamless extension of Kelsey’s Hilfiger storyline. and Swift, often the subject of other people’s narratives, appears here in a refreshingly simple role, the partner Kelsey checked in with before bringing their pup onto set, happily signing off on the cameo. No.
